Ernst Praises Selection of Senator Tim Scott to Deliver Republican Address to Nation

Press Release

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) released the following statement after Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) was selected to deliver the Republican Address to the Nation following the Joint Session of Congress next Wednesday, April 28, 2021:

"In just his first 100 days in office, President Biden has shown his true colors by completely abandoning bipartisanship and taking a sharp Left turn--one that solely prioritizes his radical base and Democratic special interests over the American people. It's clear there are two very distinct paths for the future of this country: President Biden's path, appeasing the far-Left and seeking to fundamentally change our way of life; or the path of opportunity and freedom, of growth and prosperity, and of American exceptionalism that Senator Tim Scott and our fellow Republicans stand for. Senator Tim Scott is a perfect voice to deliver that vision to the American people.

"In 2015, I was humbled and honored to give the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address. I brought the voice of everyday Iowans--folks like me who grew up on a farm and had only one good pair of shoes--to the entire country. Senator Tim Scott will yet again give a voice to these hardworking men and women who still believe in and love America and what she stands for."
